Randy Pitchford who worked on Duke Numem 3D had this to say “Now that the cat’s out of the bag we can actually make those plans. No we can get with retailers and figure out the launch window, and figure out demo timing.” As at the moment 2K Games really don’t know when the game will have a demo released because they don’t know when exactly the game will launch in 2011. However one thing is fairly sure, we will see a demo for Duke Nukem Forever which is great because after 13 years or so I don’t really remember when Duke Nukem was even about.

Brian was driving his Subaru Outback, his pregnant wife Erin in the passenger seat, when a Chevy Blazer driven by 21 year-old Jordyn B. Weichert ran into his car head-on. Two of the passengers in Jordyn’s car were killed along with Brian. Given that the driver was 21 it’s very likely she was under the influence of something, however it’s believed that rather than alcohol she may have been on drugs at the time of the accident.

According to Washignton State Patrol Weichert could be charged with vehicular homicide and vehicular assault when she is released from the hospital. Another passenger in her car 22 year-old Samantha R. Bowling could also be charged with vehicular homicide. Personally Jordyn should be charged with 3 counts of manslaughter and put in prison for the rest of her life.

Brian who was 33, left his wife who was 6 months pregnant when he was murdered Friday night. Fortunately his wife’s condition is improving and my thoughts and prayers go out to Wood’s family along with everyone who worked with him at Relic Entertainment.

In the past players had to purchase DLC to raise the level cap in the game however it seems like Gearbox wanted to add this level cap increase in a patch to allow gamers to pick and choose their DLC. This is great news for cheap gamers like myself who just don’t get DLC that often so now I can go ahead and decide which DLC I want and still feel good about being able to grind my way to level 69.

Just a side note, I think I finally grew up as it took me until I got to the publishing process to realize that the level cap was also a sexual position.

Take-Two announced this delay during their third quarter earnings results, so this delay might be to make investors happier. Take-Two reported record net revenue’s which resulted in almost a 400% gain over the previous year’s 3^rd quarter. Delaying this game could allow for the company to make good sales during their first half of 2011 which would help compete with this year’s Red Dead Redemption which sold over 6 million copies already.

Of course the bottom line is L.A. Noire has been delayed and that sucks.

In Take Two’s portfolio includes Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, BioShock, Borderlands, NBA2K, Midnight Club, Sid Meier’s Civilization, Mafia II, and Carnival Games. These titles rank among the industry’s most successful properties. By having such sought after intellectual properties under their belts it’s no wonder how they could see a net revenue of $354.1 million in their third quarter of the fiscal year.

Take Two isn’t just stopping there either with NHL 2K11, Sid Meier’s Civilization V, New Carnival Games along with downloadable content for Red Dead Redemption, Borderlands and Mafia II scheduled to be released by the end of the company’s fiscal year on October 31^st. It would not be surprising to see Take Two take over the big publishers in overall profits with all of the great titles that the publisher has been releasing.

What do you think, can Take Two take the crown away from publishers like Activision and EA?

So when will you be able to get your hands on this game which has been in production for such a long time it could probably get a driver’s license. According to 2K Games twitter account “Duke Nukem Forever is a video game that you can play in 2011!” So I would assume this game will be released next year sometime. The game is currently being developed by Gearbox who are the same people that created Borderlands in case you didn’t already know.

Those of you that pre ordered Duke Nukem Forever from GameStop back in 2001 should probably dust off your receipt and be prepared to finally play this game. Personally I think those of you that preordered this game years ago should get some sort of special DLC or something.

Those of you that have fallen prey to this terrible piece of DLC can still play Crackdown 2 however you will first have to uninstall the Toy Box DLC from your hard drive. There should hopefully be a fix for this DLC that will allow you to actually play it. Until then feel free to send angry emails to Microsoft.

Those of you that were excited to finally watch Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs in glorious 3D Blu-Ray will probably be slightly irate when you find out that Sony isn’t going to release this patch until next month. Originally when Sony released the first patch that allowed gamers with 3D TVs to play various games in 3D they said we would see a 3D patch for Blu-Ray in September.

Unfortunately that is not the case as Sony announced the delay during their IFA press event that was held yesterday. Of course fear not as this patch should be out long before Avatar and Alice in Wonderland become available on 3D Blu-Ray in November.

Auckland-based Designer Joseph Senior decided to remix Hello Kitty into some well known characters. These include Robocop, Darthvader, Wolverine and Master Chief just to name a few. Currently these are only concepts however if they do become available for sale I have every intention of picking one up.
